The idea of running a programme for local schools which supported pupils with anxiety after the pandemic, came about because a number of schools had told us that their pupils were struggling with their mental health since the pandemic. As a charity that already supports pupils in their mental and emotional wellbeing, we felt that this was something that we could work on specifically with pupils in the local area.

The project was to support people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions and secondary mental ill health who identified as suffering due to the impact of COVID. Through one-to-one meetings to receive specialist life coaching in the form of practical strategies and through discussion via zoom, face to face who had completed a survey to identify y as struggling to understand themselves and to improve their mental well-being in the face of pandemic.
